Tradewind Recruitment is recruiting Cover Supervisors for secondary schools across West Lancashire! We are seeking confident, reliable and enthusiastic Cover Supervisors for current and upcoming opportunities. We are keen to hear from experienced Cover Supervisors, Teaching Assistants, and individuals with experience working with secondary-aged young people who are interested in gaining experience within local schools.
Our partner schools regularly require Cover Supervisors for daily supply, short-term absence cover, and longer-term placements. Whether you are looking for flexible work across different schools or the opportunity to work consistently within one setting, we have opportunities to suit a range of preferences.
If you enjoy working with young people, can confidently manage a classroom, and want to make a positive contribution to pupils' education, this could be an excellent opportunity for you.
What Does a Cover Supervisor Do?
- Supervising classes across Key Stages 3 and 4.
- Delivering pre-prepared work in the absence of the classroom teacher.
- Managing classroom behaviour effectively.
- Ensuring pupils remain engaged and on task.
- Providing basic support and guidance with the work provided.
- Following school behaviour and safeguarding policies.
- Reporting back to teaching staff on pupil engagement and behaviour.
- Building positive and professional relationships with pupils and colleagues.
- Providing cover across different curriculum subjects where required.
You do not need to be a qualified teacher to work as a Cover Supervisor.
Who Are We Looking For?
Previous school experience is highly desirable, and we would particularly like to hear from candidates who have worked as a Cover Supervisor, Teaching Assistant, Learning Support Assistant, or Unqualified Teacher. However, relevant experience working with young people outside a school environment can also provide an excellent foundation for Cover Supervisor work.
We would welcome applications from candidates with backgrounds in:
- Sports coaching.
- Youth work and mentoring.
- Tutoring.
- Children's activity programmes.
- Teaching Assistant or learning support roles.
- Further education.
- Graduate roles involving children or young people.
- Other positions involving responsibility for groups of young people.
The key is being able to demonstrate genuine experience working with young people and the confidence to manage a secondary classroom.
